I haven’t been posting much because I’m working hard on a few new releases. “A Lifetime” is out, as are two collections of short stories, but there will be a few more titles in the coming weeks — though I can’t give too much information away just yet.

This business of publishing and promoting has kept me busy beyond belief, but I still found time to put the finishing touches to another project I have been working on for a while. I won’t say much for now, but that project should be released in the next few weeks and can be enjoyed by all ages… it’ll all be revealed in time.

For now, A Lifetime is moments away.

I am amazed I managed to complete another project to be honest, although luckily most of the work had been done a few months back. To all my fellow authors out there, how did you fill the time between stressing and promoting?

“A Lifetime” is the story of a struggle. Of one man born into nothing and who fights to make his way through life, to leave the place of his birth – a place of suffering and strife – and to create a new life elsewhere. To find himself a wife, to start a family and to achieve the things he thought unachievable.

It is a story of success, loss, delight and grief; a story of what it means to have everything and what it feels like to have nothing. It is also a story of the very special bond between a father and his daughter.

This a Fiji, the starting point in my upcoming short story A Lifetime, due to be published by Changing Culture Publications in the coming weeks.

This piece of paradise, this almost-neolithic strip of land, is where my character (my narrator and protagonist) is born. I won’t go into details, I don’t want to make this too personal, but the story was based on my own experiences; my own childhood.

Despite the beauty of this fine part of the world; the gorgeous contours of the mountains; the warmth of the setting sun; the contrast of the simple and the modern, this land doesn’t turn out to be much of a paradise for my main character.
